Codes and Frequencies

Description

GEO_ CM2004_2011 indicates the region of Cameroon where the respondent was interviewed. The variable is integrated to yield units with consistent boundaries across samples.

Labels identify the modern geographic units (regions) contained in each integrated region. Each sample also has its own non-integrated geography variable. All Cameroon samples have greater geographic detail available in their sample-specific variables. An additional integrated variable, GEO_CM1991_2011, includes the 1991 and 1998 Cameroon samples and contains less geographic detail (grouped regions).

Comparability

The Cameroon 1991 and 1998 samples are excluded from GEO_CM2004_2011 due to inconsistent boundaries.
